A Cup Final To Make You Love Football Again

[Young_Nudger]

As the commentators said:
It?s not the amount of possession.
It?s not the number of passes completed.
It?s not the number of shots on goal.
The only stat that counts is 1-0.

I didn?t like watching Barcelona and don?t like watching Man City - I just hate the tippy tappy style of football.
It bores me to death.

The transition by Palace is a joy to watch.
Very similar to that of Liverpools.

And dare I say it - this is the style that the Barnsley directors have said they want to see Barnsley play ie - high press - a couple of touches of the ball followed by a strike at goal.
Quick vertical football.

But it?s been lost over this last 2 seasons
We didn?t see that with Clarke - and Collins actually tried to totally change the system - to play in a way more reminiscent of Man Cities slow tippy tappy sideways crabby style than it did that of Palace.
Resulting in mind numbingly boring football.

A deep intake of breath to see what style Hourihane adopts.
Let?s hope we are the team next season in the 3rd Division which most resembles Crystal Palace.

I am not sure how you have managed to turn a thread about Palace winning the cup into an opportunity to have a pop at Collins and Clarke but I must say something about your comment on Barcelona, you say they play tippy tappy football , you have got to be having a laugh , the two semi final matches against Milan were arguably the best two games I have watched in the last 50 years, they both played fast attacking football of the highest quality with only one thought in mind and that was to play quick incisive football with constant attacking , there was no backwards or sideways play in the game at all , absolutely superb , Barcelona do not play tippy tappy football at all .
